General Chows Chicken's Jam Session

So my buddy Ethan and I have this jam band (actually we have only played together about 3 times due to geographic restraints.) But let me tell you we had a great session about two weeks ago that made me realize how much I miss jamming. I will say we tore up the garage for a solid 4 hours and punished some serious bbq afterwords (ahh the good life).

Block Matt Job I Sold Up In Elko, NV

I recently spent a sold week up in northern Nevada. Lets just say once you get past Reno you find your self in outdarkness pretty quick. Although the 80 does not resemble the PCH it is a fairly interesting drive. Most of these pics are of a mine outside of Winnemucca, NV. The last pic is a big erosion control job I sold. This product takes the place of concrete and will be soil filled and vegetated so you will not be able to see the block when its all done. Sorry for the nerd post.......

Weekend Trip to Brianhead

Avenge Me Boys!!!!!!!!

I feel it my duty to "avenge" Patrick Swayze. After his passing I was driving down the road and the radio announcer said the man who stared in the great chick-flicks of all time had died. So maybe Dirty Dancing and Ghost are packed full of estrogen infused plots (we all do things we are not proud of), but neither of these movies hold a candle to his greatest work Red Dawn. If you have not seen it, please for the love of all things holy stop reading this blog and go rent it. This movie is every 14 year old boys dream come true; so much so that when my wife asked me about why I was getting another gun my only answer was, "what happens if the Cubans and Russians invade eastern Colorado." Not only does this movie pull at my adolescent hart strings, but while I played in Cinnamon Brown and the Eskimos we kept a copy of the movie in the band equipment at all times and as a band watched it evey night before we went into the studio to record. So Patrick thanks for your contribution to humanity! Wolverines!!!!!!!!!

P-Funk And The Comming of Age

This a ruff post for me because I hate to mock what I love, but here I go. So there I was super excited about getting down to some supergroovealisticprostafunkstakation hot buttered funk produced by George Clinton and the P-Funk, and ended up with the realization that these boys are doing it now for crack money. I am fairly certain that the Mothership has left these guys here, due to their current lack of intergalactic funksmanship. OK so it was not all bad, but very reminiscent of the blue jelly bean that you think is going to be blue berry goodness and ends up being the kiss of death black liquorish one (a candy made during the great depression in order to make everyone realize they were suffering together.) So after about 40 mins we decided to pack it in. While walking out I had to ask myself the question,"would the 18 year old version of me be super disappointed I was leaving, or impressed that the 33 year old version of myself was at a P-Funk show?"

The 4th, Duck Creek, and Downhill

The Ladies

The family spent the weekend of the 4th up in Duck Creek, UT. Big thanks to Pup and Nicole for letting us come up and spend the weekend at the Cabin. We did some great hikes and saw some wildlife. It was great to get out of the heat and spend some time in the mountains. Pup and I took the lifts at Brian Head and did some serious down hill. The pucker factor was really high but I only went down once. I did tell Pup I had my camera and would be willing to take any pictures of him launching off any of the ramps or riding the planks but he declined (weak).
